> To charge an 85 kWh in 5 minutes would be ~1MW which seems beyond home charging capacity

It would be pointless to attempt this directly from the grid, but IMHO charging a home battery slowly and using that to charge a car quickly when needed, will become practical soon. The grid would only need to provide as much power per time as you could spend driving your 1-2 cars, so perhaps 50-100KW.
